It also will take fans behind the scenes at the NBA Draft Combine and NBA Draft, show how players mentally and physically prepare for training camp and opening night, reveal entertaining rookie duties and show how they sometimes get pranked by returning players -- like having their entire car filled with popcorn or being forced to carry around a pink girly knapsack.

Among the NBA stars who will appear in the special are Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard of the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James of the Miami Heat, Blake Griffin and Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers, Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler of the New York Knicks, Deron Williams of the Brooklyn Nets, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The program will premiere at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 as part of Disney XD's sports-themed Nothing But Net Marathon, which also will include episodes of Kickin' It, Lab Rats and Crash & Berstein starting at 5 p.m.

Disney XD targets kids ages 6-14, particularly boys, with a mix of live-action and animated programming. It is available in more than 78 million U.S. households.
